I think (across both the DS & Wii), this will sell around 1m in Japan - by the end of '07. 1.2m in the US. And around 700k (maybe more?) in Europe.
That's 3m sales by the end of '07.
By the end of '08, I wouldn't be surprised to see total sales closer to 7m-8m. And its possible that it could do 10m (lifetime). Will wait and see...
You're just being crazy.
Wii has lots of options for mini-game games, and the competitive/party nature of the game is lost on DS.
The game should have an appeal similar to Mario Party on Wii. It could do better than MP8, with a longer time to sell at a higher install base, or it could do worse than MP8, seeing how much competition there is in the mini-game market on Wii now.
But it won't do twice as good as MP8, even with 2 platforms.
"[Our former customers] are unable to find software which they WANT to play."
"The way to solve this problem lies in how to communicate what kind of games [they CAN play]."
